radiator and exhaust piping

[88k5blazin]

does anyone have any recomendations as the a nice big radiator to put in a 88k5 i had a four core but it is severely corroded and now i can't find anyone with the same replacement part numbers would be good to.......also any recomendations as to cheaper exhaust tubing instead of the 200 dollar kit jegs sells

The Summit aluminums are nice and very fairly priced...

LMC sells a nice duel exhaust kit for less than $200

Check out www.performanceradiator.com , I put one of their 2 row radiators in my 79 C-10, it was def better than stock, cooled great. Also if you dont already have a tranny cooler I would look into that too.

have you thought about using a radiator that came out of a diesel, they offer more cooling capacity and have built-in oil and trans coolers.
the only thing you will have to adapt are the hoses.

the diesel radiator is a heavy three core, i think that the hoses might be bigger than on your gas engine, but that would be simple to fix with a reducer.

I agree on the aluminum. It will run cooler than the four core.
